STEM is for Everyone.

Playdate with a Plane and Pilot™

Airplanes are fascinating, and sitting in the cockpit with a real life pilot makes them that much better!  Science and math come alive, a jetstream of questions begins. Everyone realizes they just can't stop smiling.
Picture
Schedule a playdate with a plane and pilot at Reid Hillview Airport in San Jose, CA. We'll dedicate 1-2 hours in this fun version of "ground school" for kids, so everyone has time to absorb and ask questions. Playdates with a Plane and Pilot™ are always free.

What is STEM?

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math.  It's an interdisciplinary approach to learning, because the four disciplines are so inextricably linked. Innovation is a creative endeavor, so sometimes STEM is combined with art and abbreviated STEAM.
